Union Minister Pralhad Joshi highlighted the scheme's focus on small and marginal farmers, cooperatives, and panchayats, aiming to increase farmers' income through multiple revenue streams. The initiative encourages further research on optimizing agrivoltaic applications across diverse crops and regions, continuing the push for renewable energy in agriculture.
